Yes, this has been confirmed. There are many problems to climb via Plaza Argentina at the moment. The weather is very hard and the snow has extended through all the mountain. Till the moment the mules just can get up to Casa de Piedra and the rangers are denying the entrance to any people who try to climb that route since it turns to be very dangerous. Till Monday 12th December we have to wait for an answer to know if things will turn to be better.

The best and may be the unique way right now is that expeditions are done via the Normal route.

The immense snow amounts have not disappeared yet, making it almost impossible to use the Polish routes as there is chance of avalanches, there is no route etc. It might change this weekend, but please be prepared for a change of plans.It might therefore very well be that you will have to do the normal route instead. Luckily, the situation means that this route is now much more interesting ;-)

Cheers,

Harry
